Courage.

I think that everyone should be able to stand up for what they believe and talk for. On April 7, 2010 A couple of friends and I wanted to speak up for something at school. We took off our shoes to show and talk for the kids in Africa; that don’t even own one single pair of shoes. They get infections on their feet, and walk on the cold ground shoeless day by day. What does this have to do with having courage? We’re standing up for something we think is a good cause. We did it at school, which was where we were at the time. We stood up to the school offices to show that for the kids in Africa we were willing to do anything to get a point across. I was willing to get in trouble, to confront the principal if it was necessary. They as in the head of the school always say, "be yourself, speak up". Uh hello, your contradicting yourself by not letting us do just that!

I take the chance and bag up my courage to speak up and let people know what I believe in. This was a major cause and the public should hear and decide whether they want to follow and help us public ate it out to others, as well. It takes a lot of guts to say what you feel and think is right, but if you really want it out as much as you say, you will be heard.

"Courage is not the absence of fear, but rather the judgement that something else is more important than fear (Ambrose Redmoon)."
